We had an hour to two before the wedding and chose to walk around the botanical gardens in Birmingham. They are extensive, beautiful, open and free. Lots of people here. We did not have time for it all so concentrated on the Japanese, rose, hosta and an Irish garden.

Cadillac’s Tracks - the garden was a serious disappointment. Flowers everywhere and do you know how many you are allowed to eat? None. I simply don’t understand humans. Like go stroll through the deli and take pictures, then leave. Nuts. On the really good side, there will be cake tonight, and ice cream tonight and whatever passes for antler smashing. Can’t wait for the wedding.
